Scissors Beats Rock
Been trying for ages to harden up my sound then I found this. Aaron you have set the bar for me on what melodic electronica with a hard edge should sound like. Magnificent work Ant
Just found this. Quailty bit of dirty music!! Guts, grit and hard hitting beats!!! I can see why your music goes into game soundtracks!!. Something ive wanted to get into for many years. I have stacks of soundtracks kicking around at home... This has inspired me to look into that route again. Great piece of energy pumping music. Love it!!
Luv'd this first time round fella,so had to take a look.Personally did'nt think it could be improved...but'ya proved me wrong...impressive work.
Thats some opening Aaron!!! I knew it had to be something special as the title track is the album name!! Sounds really cool and I love the break beats which fit just perfectly!!! Synth work, guitars and beats are rockin!!!! This would storm any dance floor!!! Personally, I dont think you need it but good luck with it dude!!!!! Rated, Barry
ROOOOOOCCCCCKKKKKK !!!!!! Guitar soup with rock hard drum noodles ;) Topped with a very breakable piece of synth.. I'll have this for starters please.
Great work Aaron and Thom! Nice tempo and energy! Quality production. Enjoyed this!
heavy breakbeatworks! as mentioned, prodigy comes up directly in the mind. Good blend of the rock with the synths another quality redshirt production, love to see this in a race game btw .. :)
great stuff! definitely energetic, fast and furious. the synth calms things down for the end section well too
Love it. The mix is great and the song is fantastic. Like somebody said before, perfect for an action movie. Very cool. \m/
Comes across like one of those way cool soundtracks to the Transporter movies, somebody's kickin' ass...Outrageously good guitar and drum tracks, but it's all shining like a diamond, well done!
This really hits the groove button. Great energetic wall of sound that pulls no punches.It grabs you by the lapels and shoves its right up against yours.Love it.
Yeh I can hear some inspiration going into this track and you have done it justice, sweet as heavy sounds with quality production. Excellent.
Some nice guitar driven beats here! Definitely succeeded with making something with energy, this rocks! Cool synth that comes in after the minute mark - great how you interchange the synth riffs. Has a hint of Proodigy/Chemical Bros which is no bad thing eh?! Nice outro too with the arpy type synth. Top tune mate.
Had a quick listen just as I was heading out to work a few days ago so no time to comment. Back for a better listen this time. Love the way you've used Tommy's riffs Aaron, sounds heavy and energetic just like you say. The Prodigy comparisons are obvious and as I've seen you both raving about their latest album recently I'm not surprised. That's not to take anything away from this track, it's a great piece of work in it's own right. The structure of it does seem to lend itself well to having a vocal added to it. Don't know if that's something you're planning but I would be interested to hear how that would turn out too. An excellent ballsy track. Rated. Craig
oHHHH Wanted to save a mental one for last and yep! You acheived that lol!! :) I'd like to hear this as a heavier mix Red! It is a good mixdown don't get me wrong - BUT I wanna hear a deeper kick maybe and a slightly higher end! A little more brightness to the high end and more deepness to the low end...maybe I am just a head ;p lol...I want to be taken on a trip! Take me deeper! Ess X
Thanks for your comments and thought I would drop by.Wow...such a full on sound that really takes you over...Rated
myself and tomos picked this up last night and we enjoyed what we heard - its really heavy and lovely on the ears. The subtle synths and dangerous drums make the track. I feel the guitar carries it well. Would love a sub under this!
Yes love it, love the guitar work. Very creative for sure. Production has been cleverly done me thinks. Think this will be a high charter for sure! Nice one! defo. rated. Sonya Stewart.
The extension is great. Love that outro, the last synth part is really good. I can hear this on a movie like The Matrix. The prodigy comparisons i guess, but no bad thing. Anyway, i just listened on my system, turned right up. Huge, FAT sound!
Aaron. The title is great. Love the track. Threw in the kitchen sink it seems and it fit. Too cooool. Dan
That added synth work is amazing, Aaron. Superior to the first version.
Killer !! Thats one BIG sound you've got. Cool mix of genres...nasty guitar riffs,great beats...took a DL,cheers.Brutal!(But too damn short:)
Rock, Beats, Scissors - Awesome title! You wanted to project energy... I received it! Aaron & Truj kicked some a*s here! ~Yow~
Damn this is good!
Nice and heavy - love Truj's downtuned riffage. Most heavy;-) Electro mix is excellent - sounds ideal for a movie or games soundtrack or UFC promo! Beats kick ass - very cool, take an easy rate guys.
full of energy it certainly is... slight Prodigy style to me... fierce... RATED i'll be uploading something a bit different soon so would appreciate your thoughts...peace
Great guitar tone. This rocks! Some interesting changes in dynamics. I think you could explore the progression a tad more coz it ends to quickly!
Nicely done guy's, it's certainly fulfills it's intention, percs and guitar driven energy, way too short though.
Very tasty, very tasty indeed!
This pressed a heavily booted toe to my rear end and assisted me in a forward direction! Oh my, Miss Fotheringay, I'm having one of my flushes! Superb, sirs!
All credit for this should go to Aaron. All I did was record about 30 seconds of gutiar, send it to him and lo and behold this was the result. Top notch work from him.
A lively wee ditty that has more energy than an imploding transformer. The electric type, not the cartoon. It's The Drum and Bass of Spades and needs more length (missus) :)
Yeah i agree, definitely kicks ass. Very heavy, probably a bit too heavy for my own tastes to be honest tho. Good beats, and production is spot on. High energy, which is what you set out to achieve, so mission accomplished!
You cerainly achieved a high voltage sound with this one, and we could also see the games industry snapping up this one. Well done both. Although not our thing - it's damned good and deserves a rate.
Cool as F*** this track has balls of steel.The beats are huge and loved the mangled mayhem.Like Mr Holley ...great fusion of rock and electronica.Computer game software material in the making .Rock till you drop.
yah... that kicks ass! nice blend of heavy rock and electronica... very prodigy-like!! killer stuff boys! rewarded
yeah baby, kik some a$$! absolutely love this one, great job guys. great guitar work, great synth work, great beatz work. mission impossible, baby!!! awesome soundtrack material this is too. three thumbs up!
Hailing from the Southern California coast, Aaron Jones (Redshirt Theory) developed his innate musical sensibility from his father who played guitar in a local band. Over time Aaron was introduced to classic rock bands like The Beatles, The Who, and Queen; classical composers like Aaron Copeland and Carl Orff; and electronic bands like Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, and Daft Punk. His inspiration to compose stemmed from the undulating beat mixes of bands like the Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. Impressed by all genres, he quickly found a niche; creating his own style of infusing various instruments with complex beat patterns. This unique sound experiment soon landed him contracts with video game distributors and local Arts groups.
Since 2005, Aaron Jones has collaborated with the prestigious Arts organization, Quixotic Fusion in Kansas City, and has been featured in over twenty games for the Wii, Xbox360, and PS3 consoles. His collaborative mission keeps his style innovative, mixing electronica with instruments that are unconventional to the electronic scene. Recent collaborations include compositions with sitar, banjo, and Celtic flutes. These challenges distinguish his unparalleled approach and are quickly making Redshirt Theory internationally recognized. As an artist that doesn’t settle for conformist musical views, Redshirt Theory continues to explore electronic music’s vast avenues and push the limits for a redefined musical genre.

So here I am with another review. This week, I took on a different approach of choosing who the victim/lucky person would be. I'm not being egotistical by any means. I love writing reviews and giving people a perspective of their music not thought possible. Basically; a good experience. And not just for the artist but the readers themselves. This week... I decided whoever got #1 on the weekly char
I have to admit that upon the first listen, I found this track confusing in that I was slightly unsure as to where it was going. It has an exceptionally complex structure which takes a few listens to really get to grips with. This is not necessarily a bad thing, however,btu in general, I do feel that the track is much longer than it needs to be. The 1:15 long intro builds exceptionally well,
The first artist this month from MP3 Unsigned is an old mate, Redshirt Theory whose IDM stylee has captured my ears a time or two over the last year or so - and I don't particularly like dance that much. Mind you, I do like almost everything so long as its done well and has plenty to say and on that score it's not surprising that Redshirt Theory should be such a big deal on that site. Funnily enou
Your reviewer can’t help thinking that he’s on a hiding to nothing taking on a track that, at the time of writing, had received 52 comments, 37 ratings, been downloaded 31 times and hit the #1 spot here on MP3Unsigned. But hey, that’s the price you pay for inviting requests for reviews. Mind you, couple that with the fact that one half of this collaboration (Redshirt Theory) has had, at t
Well first of all I have to say I've been following the progress between The Tartan Rascals and Redshirt Theory over the last few months and they never fail to amaze me with their combined talents. Akkie's great guitar work, Redshirts kick ass beats and Stevie's vocals all make for a great fusion of sounds. (Don't forget to mail that cheque to me :-p) Right onto the track. I think the thing
"Come Home" is Redshirts second entry into the 'elements' competition after the stunning 'Infliction' track which I highly recommend you give a listen. Comparisons aside, "Come Home" is another successful collab with the Tartan Rascals and a fine entry into the competition, focusing as Reshirt describes on 'human emotions as they are important "elements" to our lives', which I thought was a pretty
could easily see myself going crazy to this version of the sheds original. keep up the good work. any chance you'll do a version where you drop the beat in the middle only to bring it stomping back with 'one from the quiver' ringing over and over in my blessed ears. BTW i always thought the lyrics were 'run from the river' but apparently its as stated .one from the quiver is a reference to how goo
Right first of all I would like to just quickly say that Redshirt Thoery aka. Aaron Jones, is one of the many artists on this site that I am in awe of. His talents coupled with his sheer determination never cease to amaze me. He has a great personality and his passion for music is clearly apparent in all that he does. Okay then so onto the track. First of all it starts off with a nice trippy
Ninety comments! It's hard to imagine I could add anything to what's already been said about this track, but I'm certainly going to give it a go. Senser. Prodigy. It's all that's basically going through my mind when I'm listening to this. I love those bands, and I'm automatically loving this. This track kicks some serious gluteus maximus. Massive beats hypnotise immediately, ensuring they're
Redshirt Theory's Blue Mind in a Red State takes the listener on quite a journey. As he describes it, ths song takes you from pain to letting loose brilliantly. Although the first half of the song went a little long, it does build up the "pain" quite nice to be released halfway through the song. Early on, the synthesized strings (I think) remind me of the
My review of the artist formally known as dj redshirt now the Redshirt Theory Track Blue mind in a red state First off a small but very informal discussion J Mr Redshirt and I are kinda in a love hate relasanship I hate him he loves me J That will do now for the review The into is really cool to this track, very trippy & haunting. reall
At least I think this is the track I am supposed to review but my copy says this is called Good Faith so I'm a bit confused. Situation normal then. I'm not confused about Redshirt Theory though because Aaron Jones (for it is he) has delivered some very neat music my way over the past few months. One of which, Its Been a Long Time (June 2006) got a Must Have rating from me a
This is my first ever review on this site and boy did I pick a 'biggy'! It has been sitting at the top of the charts for the past week and on hearing it, that is no surprise at all.It has been welcomed on the site as a whole as a great piece of work and at 9 minutes long, the listener clearly gets their monies worth. I have to add at this point that those of you who know my work,will realise, tha
Wow. This just grabbed me, straight from the start! The synth line is great, and to me it feels really big. Certain synth sounds that come into it during the first part sound immense, really adding to the overall feel of the piece. The drums are good and powerful, banging away like nobody's business! The vocals are excellently delivered, really complimenting the music, and Saphire really does
Awesome work bro! Way cool. The changes completely make this different. I could definitely hit the nightlife listening to this. Keep it up!
For those who don’t know me where have you been? Although I will give you the benefit of the doubt and introduce myself as the Singer-Songwriter from Serenity or the nutty bird known as RainyD here at Mp3unsigned.com. I would also like to point out I am no producer and usually team up with the incredibly talented Virus (just because he’s a G and better than me at production really).&nb;
As I've said before...this track is simply awesome. Marks' vocals are exquisite! Strong, dynamic, energetic...you engage the listener from the beginning to end. Production is top of the line, probably woulda had a little phatter bass line throughout but for the most part, this is an excellent collab. How does one follow up on this track? A remix perhaps? hmmm Definitely radio/club mater
Third time around for MP3 Unsigned's The Redshirt adn I must admit I was really curious to hear what they'd dished up this time. Warmed Up (February 2006) certainly piqued my curiousity even though - for my money - it wasn't the slam bang track it should have been. Its Been a Long Time (June 2006), however was everything that their first track had hinted at and then some. A solid
Redshirt - Moon Shine
I first came across this MP3 Unsigned artist when I reviewed his Warmed Up (February 2006) which I liked but thought that somehow it missed the mark. It SHOULD have been a killer track because it had everything going for it, but to my ears there was something essential missing. At the end of that review I wrote 'it's fairly obvious that if this is an example of what The Redshirt does,
Hello everyone! This is an honor to review the well-known, electronic artist DJ Redshirt, who happens to walk around here with no shirt on. Why is it an honor? Well, because he’s one of my favorite artists here on MP3Unsigned and I couldn’t wait to get to do this review! Now keep in mind that this is a remix (as it’s clearly labeled, “Embers (The Redshirt Remix)”), howe
Seen My Friends? This is a haunting piece of music. I feel a little like it is from a different level of existance---a sort of cloudy floating mist! Altogether an impressive piece of work. Thank You for sharing it.
I am listening to talent -- This is nothing short of genius! I appreciate good hard pounding dance music. It Is Right Here!
Can we say "Download"?? Good job!
OOPS I did not mean to push tis button,,, I am listening and my fingers were tapping and i accidentally hit it again I'm not sorry but it is embarrasing
I had trouble getting to listen to the music as my computer for some reason didnt engage the player here,, I downloaded it and I have to tell you that I am SO pleased that I DID. The song is fabulous. I love music but only music that is good, I have to download some more,, so I'll be back without a doubt.! ! !
I had already commented on this but thought i'd officially review... Now this is not really what i listen to on a daily basis, but that being said, I really dig this stuff!
I want to cry. This is an amazing song, another redshirt masterpeice anyone might think. however for once i have some things to pick at in this track, but again its not much. I'll as usual start with the negatives, the intro to my ears is to repetitive, could just be the mood im in but, really is to much for me, it also echos the same repitieve nature through the entire song, which im not to
Two words come to mind in this track, "Holy" and "Shi*t" this really is a cracking production, theres absolutoly nothing i can say wrong about this track, actually im lieing i can, one thing, and thats the vocals the get on my nervs a bit becuas they are few and far between, i would like to hear more of them, but when they do appear they fit in so well to this song. I'm litrelly blowen awa
Energy. I decided yesterday that I was going to write my first proper review on Mp3 unsigned and I spent most of the day listening to new tunes. To be honest I was a little deterred that the majority of the music on the boards was not my usual preferred genre/style(s). The majority of what I listened to was electronica, Hip-Hop trance and dance and given that my preferred/favourite
My Religion By The RedshirtOk, first I'm going to start off with a question...... What the hell is this tune doing on MP3 unsigned?Right now this tune should be sat in Records boxes across the globe pressed by some big European dance lable. Its that good!This is really hard for me because before I did any reviews (this is my second), I told myself I would never give a 10/10 to anything
Ok Here goes, no offence intended to the original but i like this much better, having listened to both i disliked the first it didn't keep me very interested through the song. the remix however is more up my street, redshirt as always has captured a great sound in this track, its a pleasure to review, purely because i listen to the tracks i review a hell of alot and usually loop them in the b
Well here goes this is my last review of this session, and im about to review what I assume is one of the heavy weights on mp3unsigned. I am basing this on the amount of QUALITY artists that leave comments on his page I also want to make this clear dj redshirt asked me to review this track, the way he reviews his. this is based on 7=10’s but I just don’t see the point, as the template us
The Redshirt (not to be confused with anything else of a bloody colour) is an MP3 Unsigned artist I have not had the pleasure to review as yet, but just reading some of the blurb on his page gave me much to chew over. A electronica artist from California The Redshirt claims he is ' is the start of a revolution back to the big beats of electronic music. We have slowly let our electronic
I’ll start by saying, I know nothing what so ever about Electronica, in fact I can honestly say I know less than that. And to be perfectly honest I picked this track because its description is Hard Dance, Guitar Rock Clash If I had to sum this track up quickly I’d say its ‘Edgy’ not in a bad way, in a fat way. It started off and right away you know this track shows a promise of things to
I cannot believe that not many more people jumped at the chance to review one of MP3Unsigned.com's most talented artists..I could'nt wait to sort this one out. The track is seriousley tough man, it has a built up aggression that is transposed through music perfect. I have always thought very highlt of The Redshirt..I remember when the dude first came onto the scene and his music
The Redshirt is a US Electronica producer. There are a ton of Electronica artists populating MP3Unsigned, and he is just one of them. I haven't heard The Redshirt's music until he asked me to review "Freedom". Took several listens and here is what I think.....
